presets.dev: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

release/docker/native/copilot/.github/instructions/docker.instructions.md

presets.dev docker.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 676 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions for Docker projects. Docker packages an application and its dependencies into an isolated image that can run consistently on different machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Dockerfiles, image builds, Compose files, runtime users, build secrets, ignore files, or container security settings.
Why use it?
It helps an AI coding assistant create smaller runtime images, keep versions compatible, prevent secrets from entering image layers, and avoid unnecessary privileges.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is beel-collab/presets.dev's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on presets.dev itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything presets.dev configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

presets.dev docker.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Docker Copilot Instructions: Images, Runtime Users and Build Secrets

Path-specific Copilot instructions for Docker. They apply through applyTo and leave .github/copilot-instructions.md in place.

Updated for Docker Engine 29, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Keep Engine, BuildKit, and Compose versions as the project already pins them. Engine 29 is the current major to write for when the host is already on it. Do not assume a Compose feature from a newer file works on an older plugin. Read the existing Dockerfile before you add a stage.

Image shape

A multi-stage build compiles in one stage and copies the artifact into a small runtime stage. The runtime stage does not include the compiler, the package manager cache, or the tests. Pin the base image by digest or by a version tag the project already updates on purpose. Do not use latest.

.dockerignore excludes .git, secrets, and local env files. A COPY . . of a context that contains .env bakes the secret into a layer.

Build secrets and runtime

A secret needed at build time uses a BuildKit secret mount. It does not use ARG or ENV for a token, because those stay in history. The final image does not contain the secret file.

The runtime process has a USER that is not root. Files it writes live in a directory that user owns. A healthcheck hits the app's ready endpoint. The process handles SIGTERM so a stop is not a kill ten seconds later.

Compose and privileges

Compose declares the same user, a read-only root filesystem when the app can live with it, and no extra capabilities. Do not mount /var/run/docker.sock into an application container. Do not set privileged: true to fix a permission error. Fix the user or the volume.

Ports bind to the interface the project intends. A database port is not published on the public interface for a local convenience that will be copied to production.

Checks

Build the image and scan the history for ENV secrets and a root user when the user asked you to build. docker history and a config linter are the evidence. Record the command. Do not push the image.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
